What type of oil does the Sylphy use?
2 Answers
Sylphy uses 5W30 engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, which serves to lubricate and reduce friction, assist in cooling, provide sealing to prevent leaks, protect against rust and corrosion, and act as a shock absorber for the engine. The Sylphy is a compact car with body dimensions of 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 90kW at 6000rpm and a maximum torque of 155Nm at 4000rpm.
I've been driving a Sylphy for almost four years and have changed the oil several times. The most suitable one is 0W-20 full synthetic oil. The Sylphy's engine is quite refined, and low-viscosity oil flows quickly during cold starts, providing good protection. For example, in winter, it starts right up without any hesitation. I often use Mobil 1, which is labeled with API SP specifications, and it has excellent cleaning effects. After changing, the noise is significantly reduced, and fuel consumption slightly decreases. The manual recommends this range, so don't arbitrarily switch to 5W-30 unless under special circumstances. The oil change interval is usually around 7,500 kilometers. I've done DIY oil changes with my own tools, which is simple and saves a hundred bucks, but make sure to buy the matching filter and don't slack off. Over the long term, the engine stays like new, fuel-efficient and quiet.
